We work on little bugs responsible for a big part of the oxygen you breathe: cyanobacteria, with special focus on Prochlorococcus and marine Synechococcus. Further information on our work: http://www.uco.es/cyanotrans/Home.html

Ok, here you have the Starter Pack. This is just the beginning, and we will be adding more researchers progressively.

In the thousands of locations sampled in this meta-analysis, the mean MP densities were high enough to expect fundamental biological processes, such as growth and reproduction, of marine fauna to be significantly negatively impacted.

I’m working on a project in SK, and I need someone that knows more than I do to validate a thesis and methodology.

Happy to share if anyone would like a quick read, just DM.

Weird word of the day: "kleptosquamy." The testate amoeba Awerintzewia cyclostoma steals scales from other amoeboid organisms to build its own shell. This one has robbed Quadrulella, Netzelia, various euglyphids, and even an Acanthocystis. Kleptosquamy! #amoebae #ProtistsOnSky #biology #nature
